When comparing engine removal PITA, is dropping the engine cradle better than pulling it up through the top?

It's been forever and a day since I've removed a block, and it was always on late '60s, early '70s. So this concept of dropping versus lifting is a concept I can't quite wrap my head around.

Omg it's night an day difference! I will never take it out the top again . The only big thing is you need a hoist and a "cradle" to hold the engine and transmission. But it is much quicker and easier .

Good that you guys found those little push in clips for the harness. Those are hard to come by.

Going out the bottom on the cradle is WAY easier, but I think you have to disconnect the A/C lines on the Hellcat to clear?

Hope that James doesn't mind me answering this on the A/C lines but no you do not need to disconnect them at all and that way you are able to keep the system charged.
You just need to bring the car up slowly and move the engine/trans assembly back as your bringing up the car which is why you need casters on the cradle instead of just a table. These 2 pictures will show that the compressor is still on the lines supported up.
